Career and Leadership Goals For school leaders, the accountability challenge is three-fold. First, principals must lead their staffs in a search for instructional strategies that will meet the new expectations. Because so many of today’s standards call for achievement that transcends traditional academic skills, the task requires significant teacher learning, not just better implementation of traditional methods. Concepts of Educational Technology emphasizes technology techniques for improving instruction and learning through the application of the research on effective schools and on models of instruction. Teaching with technology should enhance learning. There is no value in just having access to it, but what’s more important how it is used (Lam, 2010). In the study of Instructional Design, all learners need constant feedback in finding ways for all students to succeed. Desktop publishing refers to the act of using software on personal computers to combine mixed-media elements such as text, photos or charts, into printable documents. Web design is the skill of creating presentations of content (usually hypertext or hypermedia) that are delivered to an end user through the World Wide Web, by way of a web browser. Video Technology has changed education. You can now create a movie and make active learning interactive learning, and this is just the beginning.
This is actually my third masters program that I have completed. This has been the only program where I could use what I have learned immediately. The program is very hands on and was not what I had expected. My reason for entering the program was a little selfish and I was not looking for a position in technology but to advance my own learning in technology. I have shared what I have learned with my team and campus. There are still educators who are very nervous when it comes to technology and my goal is to be the bridge that helps them to cross over into the 21st century.
